Lucerne

  • 4,100 miles
The contact owns a 2010 Buick Lucerne. While driving approximately 65 mph with the cruise control engaged, the contact began to drive uphill. While driving up the hill, the vehicle suddenly accelerated beyond the speed at which the cruise control was set. Upon reaching the top of the hill, the speed of the vehicle dropped back down to the intended speed. The failure occurred intermittently so the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer on 3 occasions where the contact was informed the vehicle was operating as normal. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 4,100 and the current mileage was 6,100.
